Manufacturers Challenge Baltimore Tax On Machinery
In Baltimore a group of manufacturers filed suit in Circuit Court challenging Baltimore’s 1957 tax on manufacturing machinery and inventory. Attorney Hyman A. Pressman asked the court to remove these items from the 1956 tax rolls, arguing the charter bars taxing property not on books by October 1 from the prior year. The council repealed a 38 year old exemption, aiming to meet a 20.7 million budget and lower the tax rate from 3.13 to 2.88, though Pressman claims about 300 million dollars were improperly added to the 1957 evaluation.
